England's women's team moved to the semifinals of Euro 2025 by defeating Sweden in a penalty shootout. Despite being outplayed for much of the match, with Sweden initially leading 2-0, England managed to stay in the game thanks to goalkeeper Hannah Hampton's impressive saves. The England squad celebrated emphatically after the final penalty miss from Smilla Holmberg. Manager Sarina Wiegman noted the game was one of the hardest to watch due to the high emotional stakes and the danger of elimination multiple times during the match.
"It was hard. One of the hardest games I've ever watched. Very emotional. We could've been out four or five times during the game."
"Sweden should have had things tied up by the 70th minute as they were given the freedom of Zurich and pounced on simple mistakes."
